Transportation Demand Management

The mission of the TDM program is to reduce vehicle trips and miles traveled by implementing cost-effective and innovative programs, services, projects, strategies, and policies that encourage and enable people to change their travel behavior. This mission, and the goals below, were developed through the TDM strategic planning process in 2016. The three major goals of the program are to:

1. Leverage existing and new partnerships to maximize technological opportunities, raise awareness of programs/services, and offer improved and new cost-effective programs/services that support alternative mode use and behavior change;

2. Better integrate TDM with planning and project delivery both to improve the land use/transportation planning process and promote new multimodal infrastructure when it is completed; and

3. Collect and analyze data to make smart investments that focus on long-term behavior change.

Across the country, local governments are deploying new pilot projects to test the effectiveness and community readiness for projects and programs that encourage bicycling, walking, ride sharing, riding transit, and teleworking as options to replace car trips. Have an idea for a pilot project in your community? Apply for our Mini-Grant program.

The purpose of SACOG’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program is to encourage people to drive alone less often by developing and implementing TDM programs, policies, services and/or information that promote bicycling, walking, riding transit, carpooling, vanpooling, and/or teleworking. The Traditional Grants are intended to provide funding for projects, programs, and events that have been tried, tested, and proven to be effective in changing travel behavior.
